QB School: Bryce Young - Week 1 @ Falcons

1. JT hate, Hates, HATES Adam Thielen. Anyone know why?

2. Seeing the all-22 from the 2nd interception makes it clear he wasn't staring down the receiver, if that wasn't obvious from the game film.

3. TMJ sucks. Is he just lazy? Was that 2 deep routes where he was "overthrown" because he didn't go full speed on his entire route?

For real.

"I don't see anything encouraging"...

What?

Yeah 😕

I haven't watched the video, but going off my own analysis I was plenty encouraged. He played a smart game, stayed cool and passed (for the most part) accurately.

There's gonna be growing pains, but if you weren't expecting that you're not thinking.

Haven't finished it yet, but hard to get through it.  I don't see anything encouraging.  Staring receivers down, misplaced/bad throws, suddenly little to no feel for anticipation, bad decisions, etc.  

The sunshine and rainbows brigade keep wanting to cite it being his first game - outside of a couple of secondary players and maybe Grady Jarrett, the Falcons defense is ASS and Bryce looked horrible.  And again, outside of the injury AR looked better.  I think Stroud played better.  And we saw Cam dominate and take the league by storm from his first game on.  First game isn't an excuse, especially for a #1 overall pick.  You draft a guy #1 because they should step on the field and change the game in your favor from the first snap...

It's just very discouraging that every facet of his game that our staff felt made him the #1 overall pick over the other options are all areas he looked mediocre in for most of the game Sunday.

What I see is a lot of dumb mistakes by receivers and not a lot of game reps between that crew and young. Things will improve.

If you look around the league there are a lot of established quarterbacks that did not fare better Sunday than Bryce. Watching around the league quite a few quarterbacks looked worse. I credit him throwing the 2 interceptions as much on play calling as I do execution. Bryce will be fine.

Maybe he doesn’t hate him.  Maybe Theilen is just putting a lot of bad stuff on film because he is on the backside of his career and isn being relied on as the main dude in our offensive structure    And it’s noticeable.

I watched the whole analysis and was 95% positive about Young, overall complementary of his decision making and even said the same thing that one of the interceptions was the right read but safety was guessing and going rogue than what the coverage was supposed to be. I came away more encouraged about Bryce Young than I already was. 
 

As expected he was very critical of our receivers inability to create separation and lack of speed, and hard on Thielen and TMJ 

He liked our overall route concepts but we just don’t have the personnel .

When your team only scores 14 points, turns the ball over three times and generally fails to execute you have to expect some serious critique.  Yes, he was a little hard on AT.  But it wasn't necessarily unwarranted.  AT is the guy who is supposed to be the veteran presence in that room, leading by example.  I didn't see many shots of him dusting his guy and creating an obvious place for the ball to go.

It was an opinion that was critical of our wide personnel.  That's fair.  Our guys, AT aside, have generally proven nothing in their careers.  On past accomplishments, you have to say our WR room is bottom third of the league.  Until they prove otherwise, that's all they will be.  Criticism warranted.

We are paying about 35 million for that WR room this year.  Unfortunately, only 10.5 million is being paid to players who are actually on our roster.  I daresay that 25 million would be awfully helpful in improving that room.

In any event, we'll know a lot more by week 10.  To say we know anything after week 1 is folly.

Unlike most people, I really don't give a poo what strangers on the internet think of me or my opinion.  So unless the definition of trolling has changed, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Define irony. Being a mod on an internet Forum (which your main goal is to care about what people post) saying you don't care about opinions on the Forum you mod.

Also, a troll says the same thing over and over again. You've stated this same opinion about Bryce Young over and over again. That my good lad, is trolling.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
